Wang Xizhi observando os gansos

Qian Xuan Chinese
ca. 1295
Not on view
Em 1276, pós a queda de Hangzhou, capital da dinastia Song do Sul, o artista Qian Xuan decidiu viver como um yimin, uma “pessoa esquecida” da dinastia. Pintado em um estilo “azul-e-verde” deliberadamente primitivo, este rolo horizontal ilustra a história de Wang Xizhi (303–361), praticante da alquimia taoista e calígrafo de fama legendária que se inspirava em formas naturais como os movimentos graciosos do pecoço do ganso. Qian Xuan criou aqui uma evocação onírica dos tempos antigos, impedindo uma leitura realista do espaço pictórico e expressando assim a alienação que sentia depois da queda da dinastia de Song.
